R.A.F. FLYING RISKS

Air Ministry Advise PrivateInsurance

Air Ministry Orders state, in regard toR.A.F. flying risks, that the compensationpayable from public funds in the event ofinjury or death, and provided for in regula-tions, cannot take into account exceptionalpersonal liabilities which may exist inindividual cases.

" Officers and airmen are therefore advisedto consider whether their individual circum-stances render it desirable that they shouldeffect private insurance to supplement thecompensation which might become payablefrom official sources, or to cover contingenciesin which no official compensation is payable,"it is stated.

" Officers and airmen who contemplate par-ticipating in their private capacities in civilair displays or meetings are specially advisedto consider the question of insurance, sincedisability or death arising from such partici-pation will in no circumstances be regarded asattributable to conditions of service, and theAir Ministry can accept no liability in respectof them."
